“…In practice, the terms "psychological" and "economic" violence may be misused because a variety of perpetrators may exploit the situation by claiming that the victims had applied psychological violence against them just to justify that their act was in response or self-defense. It may also be because of that the proving of psychological violence is very complex, especially in fragile states (Gupta et al, 2023). The success of this bill is that the DV has no more private family issues because any aggrieved person may knock on the door of the Court and the court shall direct the respondent to show cause within seven days of receipt of notice (DV Bill, 2020 s 5.2).…”

This article endeavors to highlight and publicize the misunderstanding and misconception in Pakistani society that the men are always perpetrators of Spousal Violence (SV). It intends to establish that SV is not only wrong against women but also against men but it is not recognized in Pakistani society at its real degree. This study delves deeper into examining the causes and forms of SV by women perpetrator against men as well as the analysis of SV legislation in Pakistan. Analytical Legal research technique is used to collect data regarding SV against men and legislation on SV in Pakistan. Different enactments at National and provincial level and bills introduced for legislation on the topic of SV are looked into and compared with each other. SV against men is now being recognized to some extent but still a lot of work is needed to establish that the men may also be victim of SV and women may be perpetrator. As compared to women, SV against men is less perceived, especially in Pakistani society and some time it is not recognized. All legislative bodies of Pakistan, except one, do not recognize the SV against Men. There is rarity of legislation on SV against men in Pakistan, because there is only one enactment in Pakistan on the topic of Domestic Violence (DV), which defines the “man” as aggrieved person and recognize him as victim of DV or SV, and that is for Balochistan Province. Through provision of adequate resources and educating the masses male victims of SV may be supported and number of male victims of SV may also be reduced. For securing the rights of men, existing laws concerning DV requires amendments in accordance with the needs of time.

While population-based research confirms that women with disabilities abused by their intimate partners experience significant mental health issues, few studies compare this in intimate partner violence (IPV)-specific samples of women with or without disabilities and none analyze possible impacts based on disability type. This secondary mixed methods analysis examined 660 Canadian women (50.6% Indigenous, 43.1% White, and 6.1% visible minority) with respect to whether they reported having a disability that impacted their employability or daily living (291 or 44% yes; 369 or 56% said no). In the 291 women with disabilities, about one-third (30.7%) had a physical disability-only, one-quarter had a mental health disability-only, and 44.1% reported both physical and mental health disabilities. Women with mental health and both physical and mental health disabilities reported significantly more Severe Combined IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale, depression (CES-D-10; Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression), psychological distress (Symptom Checklist Shortform-10; SCL-10; in the clinical range), PTSD symptoms (PTSD Checklist), and lower quality of life (Quality of Life Questionnaire or QoL-9) than women without disabilities. Education about disabilities is needed for IPV advocates and disability practitioners need education about IPV. Developing services specific to survivors of IPV with disabilities is recommended.
